Mirror in the Bathroom (which was subtly teased by Mike earlier in the set) made its Phish debut and Wipe Out was played for the first time since April 27, 1991 (721 shows). Chalk Dust included more Wipe Out teases. Dog Log was unfinished and sung over a more bluesy progression than usual. Some funny banter ensued during the encore, as Fishman and Trey took verbal jabs at each other. This show was officially released as Live Phish 06.
